This year marks an exciting milestone for Helix Tools – the company is making its debut at the UK’s premier manufacturing technologies event, MACH 2026, joining forces with Floyd Automatic on a joint stand at the Birmingham NEC from 20th to 24th April.

For Helix, exhibiting at MACH is an important step in introducing the company’s expertise in precision tooling and application support to a wider audience. While the business has built a reputation for problem-solving and delivering practical solutions to manufacturers, this is the first time Helix is taking the opportunity to meet the broader MACH audience face-to-face, showcasing how it can help engineers and production teams improve performance, efficiency and control in their operations.

Paul Lynch, Managing Director of Helix and Floyd Automatic, said:

“This is a really exciting moment for Helix. MACH provides the perfect platform to introduce our expertise to a wider audience, meet new customers and show how we work alongside Floyd to support manufacturers with practical, results-driven solutions. We’re looking forward to engaging with visitors, learning about their machining challenges and helping them get the most out of their tooling investments.”

Visitors to the joint stand will have the chance to explore Helix’s technical knowledge and practical guidance, from improving cutting performance to optimising tool management and tackling challenging materials. Combining Helix’s expertise with Floyd’s longstanding experience at MACH, the stand offers a unique opportunity for engineers to gain insight and advice from two complementary teams working closely together.

Stay tuned for our follow-up feature, where we’ll share how Helix is approaching MACH differently this year, focusing on material expertise, problem-solving and helping manufacturers get the most out of their tooling investments.
